Abstract

Detergent, cleaning agent or care product comprises 0.0001-5 wt.% of iron complexes and/or iron salts. Independent claims are included for: (1) a textile cleaning- or conditioning process, comprising subjecting the textiles to a textile laundry, preferably in an automatic washing machine for cleaning textile using the detergent, cleaning agent or care product; and (2) reducing off-odors in a system caused by the presence of thiols, preferably short-chain thiol compounds, comprising adding iron complexes and/or iron salts to the system.

Description

The The present invention relates to a washing, cleaning or care agent, containing iron complexes or iron salts. It further relates to a textile cleaning or conditioning method using such an agent as well as the use of the agent for cleaning and / or conditioning textiles. Further concerns it evoked a process for reducing malodors in a system by the presence of thiols, in particular short-chain thiols. Furthermore it concerns the use of iron complexes or iron salts in washing, cleaning or care products to reduce malodors.

One important aspect in the application of washing, cleaning or Care products is in the elimination or at least in the reduction of bad smells. bad smells assume certain odor-active compounds, for example of thiols. Thiols are z. B. released in decay processes. Human sweat also contains sulfur compounds, which from bacteria, as they occur in the crook of the arm, to evil-smelling Thiols are processed.

task The present invention has been to the consumer a possibility to give a reduction of malodors that affect thiols, in particular short-chain thiols are due, bring about.

Is solved this object of the subject invention, a washing, cleaning or care products containing (preferably water-soluble) Iron complexes or iron salts, preferably in amounts of 0.0001 to 5 wt .-%, advantageously from 0.001 to 3 wt .-%, in particular from 0.1 to 1 wt .-%, wt .-% based on the total agent.

Examples

• 1) In a beaker, 1 mmol of FeCl _{3 was dissolved} in 50 ml of water with addition of 1 mmol of citric acid and the solution was then stirred for 30 minutes. Immediately afterwards, 0.1 mmol of 3- (methylthio) -1-hexanol was added.

An odor assessment was carried out immediately after addition of the thiol and again after about 30 Stirring for a few minutes with odourously trained examiners. The examiners rated the odor intensity on a scale of 0 to 5, where 5 stands for a very strong odor intensity and 0 stands for a very low odor intensity.

The odor evaluation gave the following averages:
Evaluation immediately after the addition of the thiol: bad odor with odor intensity value 5
Evaluation after 30 minutes stirring with the thiol: bad smell with odor intensity value 4

• 2) In einem Becherglas wurden 2 mmol FeCl3 in 50 ml Wasser unter Zugabe von 1 mmol Citronensäure gelöst und die Lösung danach 30 Minuten gerührt. Direkt danach erfolgte die Zugabe von 0,1 mmol 3-(Mehylthio)-1-hexanol.

When the FeCl3 was not added to the system, the odor intensity value remained at 5 even after stirring for 30 minutes.

• 2) In a beaker, 2 mmol of FeCl3 were dissolved in 50 ml of water with the addition of 1 mmol of citric acid and the solution was then stirred for 30 minutes. Immediately afterwards, 0.1 mmol of 3- (methylthio) -1-hexanol was added.

An odor assessment was made, as described in 1), by olfactory trained examiners. The odor rating resulted in the following:
Evaluation immediately after the addition of the thiol: bad odor with odor intensity value 5
Evaluation after 30 minutes stirring with the thiol: bad odor with odor intensity value 3.5

The Use of iron salts in aqueous solution enabled consequently a reduction of the bad smell, caused by the presence of 3- (methylthio) -1-hexanol.
